Category: Sale a bration

Madison Avenue

This is my version of a card shown at Leadership – I think it’s one Shelli did at the Sale a Bration shin-dig right after our event.  It’s a cute card and the little tiny strip of Silver Glimmer paper is a sweet addition.  There are only 10 days left of Sale a Bration!   (It goes by like Christmas!)

card stock – Pool Party, Sycamore Street Designer Series paper, Whisper White, Basic Black, Silver Glimmer

I will really miss the Sycamore Street Designer Series paper when it’s gone.   It has such happy colors!  Hugs, Fran

By the Tide

On Sunday we had a team meeting and did a shoebox swap.  This is where everyone brings all the supplies ready for us to make their card.  It’s fun!  My friend, Anne, designed this card for the swap.  She’s a beach lover (and I thought of her as soon as I saw this set in the catalog!) 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – By the Tide, Tiny Tags
card stock – Pool Party, Island Indigo, Whisper White
Ink – Calypso Coral, Island Indigo
Etc – Fan embossing folder, Pool Party button, Tangerine Tango ribbon, Small curly punch

Isn’t it cute?  She’s let me borrow her set this week so hopefully I’ll get to play a bit.  Hugs, Fran

Change the Look with Sentiments

At one of my stamp clubs we were talking about how to use a Valentine design into a card you can use for other occasions.  I told them I’d take up that challenge – so here you go ladies!  The same card with different looks simply by changing the sentiment  Above is Sassy Salutations – and below is Delightful Dozen. 

The next three are sentiments found in Vintage Verses – a Sale a bration set! 

I think I like the birthday sentiment from Delightful Dozen best.  How about you?  Hugs, Fran

More Patterned Occasions

These note cards are a fun size to use!  The coffee cup card was semi- masked to stamp each color.  Instead of stamping the image on a post it note and cutting it out, I was able to just use the post it note as is.  The bottom card is a variation on a theme!

Patterned Occasions Notecard

This was a sketch on Splitcoast but I can’t find the number.  (I’ll add it when I find it!)  Created on a Stampin Up notecard using the Sale a bration set Patterned Occasions, it was easy to put together.  This set is free with a $50 order!

And here are some Elephants on Parade!  That border is Calypso Coral – kind of looks like neon orange.  I changed the settings on my camera at Leadership to take inside/in the dark photos and it’s not quite back to normal.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Patterned Occasions

Here’s a hint for this card – I drew a faint pencil line across the bottom to line up the elephants and used my Stamp a Ma Jig.  Hugs, Fran

Madison Avenue Shake

This shaker tag was shown by Carrie Cudney at Leadership.  It uses the Madison Avenue Sale a bration set.  I made a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 tag base and used the 1 3/4 circle punch to punch a 2 3/8 x 2 5/8 piece of Sycamore Street Designer Series paper (DSP)

Vintage Verses

Another card fashioned after one shown at Leadership.  This uses elements from the new Artisan Kit in the Spring Mini.  Beautiful laces and flowers are included in this kit – the wide scalloped lace is simply gorgeous.  For this card I cut apart one scallop and added some lace and a resin flower.  Then I stamped the sentiment from the SAB set Vintage Verses and sprayed and spritzed the card until it shimmered.

card stock – Crumb Cake
Ink – Early Espresso
Etc – Shimmer spray, Spritzer, Artisan Kit
